Small to medium-sized loose snow avalanches are to be expected. In the event of prolonged bright spells this applies on extremely steep slopes and.
The new snow-covered wind slabs are now only very rarely prone to triggering. Individual avalanche prone locations are to be found in particular adjacent to ridgelines above approximately 2800 m. The number and size of avalanche prone locations will increase with altitude.
Individual gliding avalanches are possible. This applies on steep grassy slopes below approximately 2600 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
Snowpack
Up to 20 cm of snow fell on Tuesday. The somewhat older wind slabs have bonded quite well with the old snowpack at elevated altitudes. The old snowpack is well consolidated.
Tendency
The avalanche danger will decrease gradually.

Treeline
On very steep slopes individual small to medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible. Fresh and older wind slabs in the high Alpine regions.
Some small to medium-sized loose snow avalanches are possible, in particular on very steep sunny slopes.
The mostly small wind slabs can be released, especially by large additional loads, above the tree line, caution is to be exercised in particular adjacent to ridgelines, as well as at the base of rock walls and behind abrupt changes in the terrain. At high altitude and in high Alpine regions the likelihood of avalanches is higher.
Individual gliding avalanches are possible, especially on very steep sunny slopes below approximately 2200 m. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
Over a wide area 20 to 40 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. The wind was moderate to strong at times. Wind slabs are lying on soft layers in particular on shady slopes above the tree line. The old snowpack is well consolidated and its surface has a melt-freeze crust.
